[cobalt-users] Port Command Ending

["Barnaby Mortensen" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there:

Got a weird one that seemingly appears to be affecting any RaQ.  I noticed
the other day that in some circumstances, I am not able to FTP into a RaQ
from certain buildings.  This could be any RaQ hosted anywhere--not
necessarily the same one.

Upon looking into it and talking with a few systems engineers at each
building, I am told that the RaQ is:

"not in full compliance with the RFC specifications.  Particularly this
server does not appear to be ending the "PORT COMMAND" with a new line.  As
a result of this behavior the firewall immediately drops the connection, as
aberrant behavior."

I know that using Passive FTP *should* enable it to work--and in most cases
it does.  But in some instances, it doesn't make a difference.

How would I correct this?  If anyone can send me in the right direction,
I'll run with it.....

Thanks.
